Benfica manager, Jose Mourinho, is in “the final stages” of negotiations to return to Real Madrid.
Mourinho is set to take over at the Bernabeu ahead of next season.
In a tweet on Wednesday, football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, claimed the deal will be ratified by Madrid president, Florentino Perez.
Romano wrote: “José Mourinho’s return to Real Madrid now advancing to the final stages. Talks are progressing well.
“Final approval from Florentino Pérez still needed + likely to wait until the elections…
“…but Mourinho is ready and talks have been productive.”
Mourinho will take over from Alvaro Arbeloa, who was brought in after Xabi Alonso was dismissed in January.
